Nicolai Andreasen Family Part I

Marriage, Vindum parish register, page 139. Anders Pedersen of Hedegaard marries Anne Kirstine Nielsdatter on March 20, 1766. There is another recording for January 4, 1766 which is an engagment I think? There is a word in front of her name which I think means widowed. I think she also had a son named Soren who I will discuss later in the post.

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 193. A child is born to Andreas Pedersen on December 14, 1766. There is no name listed for the child but in the prior post, Andreas had a son pass away in 1771 that was four years old whose name was Nicolai. This must be him.

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 8. Cathrine is born to Andreas Pedersen on August 13, 1769 (12p Trinit).
Confirmation, Vindum parish register, page 19. Andreas Pedersen of Hedegaard has a son confirmed in 1772 named Soren. My guess is that this really is our Andreas because there was only one that lived in Hedegaard and that Soren, likely age 12 or so, is the child of Anne Kirstine Nielsdatter from a previous marriage. Anne Kirstine died in 1771 at the age of 37. This means she married Andreas when she was 31, thus making it very possible for her to have been married before and to have had a child (Soren) at the age of 25 or so. It would be very difficult to prove this since the records hardly ever recorded the name of the woman, except for marriage records.
